This reminds me of after 9/11 when people in very rural parts of the Midwest were convinced the terrorists were going to blow up their local Dollar General as it was "essential to the community"
Mr. Barnum continues to be proved correct - No one is losing money underestimating stupidity
It's hard to put into words how much of a difference you can make to someone's day simply by reading a story they wrote, sharing it, and telling them that you liked it. Not only is the reading itself a worthwhile pleasure, it's also just a wonderful gift. It's so worth doing
It’ll always matter that a fascist republican in the Senate named Tim Sheehy was so emboldened to commit violence that he took it upon himself to break the arm of a US Marine who was dressed in full uniform at a hearing simply for protesting the illegal war in Iran.

Awww, what poud parent moment when your kid argues with Nazi teachers!
Also very messed up that we now have Nazi teachers...
Mine never did get much into Star Wars, but also liked Ahsoka, Rey, and Padma best.
Big hugs to you and your elder child (and the other one(s)).
Yes, badass women so often die of “lost the will to live” after delivering wanted babies into a dangerous environment when they know the baby-daddy is an active threat 😖
FFS, Lucus could just say he hates women 🤦🏼
But then again I’m telling you thing you clearly already are well aware of
Few Star Wars things as annoying as the fridging of Padma who - of course - dies in childbirth as all ‘good’ mothers are expected to be delighted to do.
You mean they’ve developed FTL travel and death stars and laser swords but can’t figure out how to give a hemorrhaging woman a blood transfusion?
Good luck
The Trump regime is an illegitimate, evil, corrupt, fascist enterprise.
Its supporters are hateful, cowardly, or deceived, but are all responsible.
I will speak out against the regime every single day until they are held accountable.

Seconded
Hand-drawn chart titled “Creative Project” showing confidence decreasing as project completion increases. The vertical axis reads “Measure of Confidence” from 0% to 100%, while the horizontal axis shows “% Completion.” A pink line slopes downward from high confidence at the start (“All pistons firing,” “Still confident”) to uncertainty and doubt near the end (“Uh…,” “What am I doing?” and “Why oh why?”).
I assume that this isn't just me...

Well done, Mark
I had this same question! Never did get a good answer. My mom said that God had created other tribes but the Bible just didn’t mention that, which made me wonder ‘what else doesn’t the Bible mention?’ And then the whole thing falls apart.
I’m glad you’re still here.
I was told that questioning things was a sign I lacked faith, which was - of course - a sin.
Didn’t help that I was also told God could read my mind so even if I only THOUGHT a question - yep, sin!
Started young when the leaders couldn’t answer (and then got upset by) simple questions such as ‘If Adam & Eve were the only people, who did Caine and Able have kids with?’
Went from there to seeing how they treated vulnerable folks (not well).
Didn’t help that I’m not keen on misogyny and racism.
Good of you to do that work for the men who will inevitably not do it themselves and also be upset that they don’t know.

@pamelaoplays.bsky.social please warn other veterans about Nick - he's claiming it's very common for veterans to have Nazi tattoos.
He bravely blocked me.
FYI @nicklloyd.bsky.social is out there claiming it's very common for veterans to be sporting Nazi tats
Actually, Nick, not all veterans are Nazis.
But fuck you very much for implying that we just might be.
Today I learned that Nick doesn't speak for enlisted folks, like me who do get dumb tattoos all the time BUT do not get random symbols when we all know perfectly well that Nazi ink can get us kicked out.
And with all due respect, FUCK YOU, Nick for your shitty take on veterans. We're not Nazis.
Last day free!
How dare those slurs just jump into that otherwise perfectly harmless chat!
